The film, which stars Eddie Murphy as a king from the fictional African country of Zamunda, features a photograph of the African royal, whose house has ties to Oman.
In a scene where Lavelle Junson, the newly found son of Murphy’s King Akeem Joffer is tasked with learning more about his royal background, he’s quizzed about past members of the family.
As he’s learning who is who, he’s presented with a black-and-white photograph of a young man sitting on a throne wearing a black bisht with an Omani massar.
In the film, the man is identified as Hebbe Joffer , a distant relative of King Joffer. In reality, while that isn t actually his name, the man in the photo was indeed a member of a royal family.
Researchers warned that the dolls, combined with exposure to thin “ideals” in films, TV and social media, could also lead to young girls feeling more dissatisfied with their own bodies, and potentially be an early factor in developing an eating disorder.
In the research, 30 girls between the ages of 5 and 9 played with an ultra-thin doll, a realistic childlike doll or a car. Before and after each play session, the girls were asked about how they perceived their own body as well as the ideal body size via an interactive computer test using photos.
They found that girls who played with ultra-thin dolls viewed the ideal body size as smaller and there was no improvement to this even after playing with childlike dolls or cars, showing that the effects could not be immediately counteracted. However, those who played with realistic children’s dolls held a more neutral view in terms of the ideal body size.
